'dbg_for_python'If I understand your problem, this might be a solution. It is a stream editor I devised on the impression that it could handle in a simple manner a number of relatively simple problems on this list for which no commensurately simple methodologies seem to exist. I intend to propose it to the group when I finish the doc. Meantime who do I propose it to?
